The Spezial has long been one of the cleanest silhouettes from the Three Stripes and now adidas is looking to put a contemporary spin on the low-top classic with a Primeknit-constructed take on the shoe. First glimpsed late last year, the brand new design — officially dubbed the Very Spezial Primeknit — echoes the look of the original thanks to a gum rubber sole and a dual-colored knit to mimic the shoe’s OG paneling. The design even comes built atop a timeless gum sole while the elasticized collar is reminiscent of the NMD and upcoming “Uncaged” Ultra Boost releases. Very Spezial indeed.

The Very Spezial Primeknit’s debut Blue/Light Blue/Running White colorway is available now via Overkill while a grey make-up is sure to follow in the weeks ahead.
